No. That has never been the truth. Or for some reason Roger Moore's Bond was mourning the death of George Lazenby's Bond's wife. And Timothy Dalton's Bond hadn't gotten over the death of the same woman, whom he never met.

All of the actors have been playing the same character.

One thing that I would love the franchise to do, though, is an actual hard reboot. Set a new series up as period pieces, set in the fifties and sixties like the novels.

No Lucasfilm mention... Hmm.
With Star Wars Episode 7 released the year before. While the first new film will get a traditional release and Blu-ray/streaming/Pay TV it's episode 8 that may get this treatment.
